Disney Allegedly Hacked For Tons Of Future Project Data

A hacker group who identifies themselves as Nullbulge has claimed that they have infiltrated Disney’s digital security and hacked their systems to gain access to at least 1.1 terabytes of their data. It sounds like the majority of this includes information shared on Disney’s Slack channels, which companies use to exchange messages. Supposedly, in addition to tons of messages, the hackers also gained access to login credentials, personal details of many individuals, concept art, and information on unreleased projects. Nullbulge posted the claim on a hacker forum called Breach Forums. They also took to social media to brag about their haul, using X to say, “Disney has had their entire dev Slack dumped. 1.1 TB of files and chat messages. Anything we could get our hands on, we downloaded and p...

Netflix Horror Master Joins Shudder For Fan-Favorite Franchise

Mike Flanagan has made a name for himself as one of the most creative modern horror directors, so fans are already eagerly anticipating what he will do for the film when it premiers on Shudder. His past work includes movies like Hush, and Doctor Sleep, as well as miniseries such as The Haunting of Hill House, Midnight Mass, and The Fall of the House of Usher. However, Mike Flanagan will not be directing one of the anthology stories for Shudder but rather writing one of the stories on V/H/S/Beyond. It is Flanagan’s wife, Kate Siegel, who will be directing the story in her directorial debut. She previously was on the other side of the camera for acting work on The Fall of the House of Usher, having a history of collaborating with her husband. Source link

Dune: Prophecy Finally Reveals Iconic Actress As Harkonnen

Valya Harkonnen is the leader of the Sisterhood, a group which will inevitably evolve into the faction that the movie fans know better as the Bene Gesserit. Emily Watson will be the lead of Dune: Prophecy alongside Olivia Williams, who plays Valya’s sister Tula Harkonnen. The siblings are adversarial by nature, but work to maintain a unified front for the sake of family and for the good of their people. While many fans may think of the Dune franchise being classics of the sci-fi genre, some might be unaware just how long the books have continued on since the originals created by Frank Herbert. While the original Dune was published in 1963, Dune: Prophecy is actually based off of Sisterhood of Dune, which was published in 2012. Unlike the previous novel, this will mark the first time anyone...

The Hilarious Truth Behind Star Wars’ Greatest Villain

While that first Star Wars film had captivating battles with blasters and lightsabers, the one scene where Carrie Fisher and Peter Cushing interacted together featured a different kind of fight: verbal sparring. As soon as she sees Tarkin, Leia unloads on the guy, saying, “I should have expected to find you holding Vader’s leash. I recognized your foul stench when I was brought on board.” Before this Star Wars scene ends with the destruction of Alderaan, we get to learn more about Peter Cushing’s character thanks to the actor’s chilly (and chilling) line deliveries. He’s the ice to Leia’s fire, and he decides to blow up an entire planet with a truly dispassionate creepiness. Interestingly, though, it was very difficult for Carrie Fisher to find the authentic anger she needed to make this s...

Shannen Doherty, Charmed Star, Dead At 53

Shannen Doherty became a cult figure after a stellar performance in the 1988 movie Heathers, starring alongside Christian Slater and Winona Ryder. Two years later, Shannen Doherty was cast in the role that she will likely always be remembered for: Brenda Walsh in the FOX network prime-time series Beverly Hills, 90210. There, she joined Jason Priestly, Luke Perry, Jennie Garth, Tori Spelling, Ian Ziering, and Brian Austin Green (among others) for one of the most iconic television shows of the time period. After her departure from the show four seasons in, the tabloids labeled the late actress as somewhat of a diva and incapable of getting along with her co-stars. Source link

The Borg’s Most Powerful Weapon Comes From Forgotten Star Trek Race

By the time the Borg attacked Earth in Star Trek: First Contact, Captain Picard was well aware of their many weapons. He had been on the receiving end of a nasty Borg attack in “Q Who,” and he was later assimilated into the Collective before being rescued by his crew. But what Picard couldn’t figure out was how the Borg Queen survived her Cube blowing up in “The Best of Both Worlds, Part II”. Eventually, Star Trek: Voyager revealed that the Borg can simply create a new Queen when the old one is killed, and effectively having an immortal evil genius leader is a powerful weapon in and of itself. As you might expect, though, the Borg Queen would rather avoid getting killed in the first place. And it wasn’t until Star Trek: Picard that we realized that she had an entirely different weapon, o...

HBO Fans Rejoice As Long-Awaited Series Returns For Season 3 With Full Cast

For example, Barbie Ferreira, the actress who portrayed Kat Hernandez, previously stated that she would not return for Euphoria Season 3, citing creative differences with the series creator Sam Levinson over her character’s development. So, with all the delays and everything going on behind the scenes, it’s not outside the realm of possibilities for the story to experience a time jump, especially now that the stars are four years older compared to the conclusion of Season 2. Sure, de-aging them digitally is also an option that poses the question of whether or not such actions are financially viable. As always, time will tell, and the most important thing is that Euphoria Season 3 isn’t left to ferment in development hell. Source link

The Stephen King Fan-Favorite Novel Without A Single Adaptation Seems To Be Cursed

The Eyes of the Dragon is a very different kind of novel for King, as it’s a pretty straightforward fantasy epic and doesn’t delve into his usual penchant for horror at all. Instead, it’s a tale of a king who is murdered, and his son and heir, Peter, is framed for the crime. Peter must then battle an evil wizard and his usurper brother for his rightful place on the throne. The Eyes of the Dragon isn’t necessarily a mind-blowing fairy tale, but it’s well-told and stands out as a unique entry to King’s catalog. This book also was published way back in 1984, so there’s been plenty of time for it to get adapted. Epic fantasies have only become more popular since then, so you’d think that an adaptation would have happened sooner. Source link
